UNPACKING INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION:
The maximum limits for physical shock can be exceeded if the
drive is not handled properly. Special care should be
taken not to bump or drop the drive. It is highly recommended
that Maxtor DiamondMax 10 SATA drives are not stacked or
placed on any hard surface after they are unpacked. Such handling
could cause media damage.
1. Grounded wrist straps should be worn when opening the ESD bag.
2. Three layer runners should be installed on every table and bench where the
product is processed while still vulnerable to ESD.
3. Open the shipping container and remove the packing assembly that
contains the drive.
4. Remove the drive from the packing assembly.
5. Always handle the disk drive from the sides.
6. Do not touch the circuit board.

Hardware Options
3.3.1
SATA (Serial ATA) Interface Connector
The Maxtor DiamondMax 10 80/100/120/160/200/250/300GB Serial ATA hard
disk drive ships with 2 no connect (NC) pins for the purpose of storing a jumper
when not in use. For normal operations, no action is necessary. However, if your
motherboard does not support the Gen. II (3Gbps) data rate, you will need to limit
the data transfer rate by transferring the jumper to the pins as shown in Figure 3-4.

Installation
3.3.2
SATA BUS ADAPTER
There are two ways you can configure a system to allow the DiamondMax 10 hard
disk drives to communicate over the Serial ATA bus of an IBM or IBM-compatible
PC:
1. Connect the drive to a Serial ATA bus connector on the motherboard of
the PC.
2. Install an IDE-compatible adapter board in the PC, and connect the
drive to the adapter board.
Some PC motherboards have a built in Serial ATA bus connector. These Serial ATA
bus connectors are compatible with DiamondMax 10 Serial ATA hard disk drives.If
the motherboard has a Serial ATA connector, simply connect a 7 pin Serial ATA
cable between the drive and the motherboard.
3.3.3
Adapter Board
If your PC motherboard does not contain a built-in Serial ATA bus interface
connector, you must install a Serial ATA bus adapter board and connecting cable to
allow the drive to interface with the motherboard. Maxtor does not supply such an
adapter board, but they are available from several third-party vendors.
Please carefully read the instruction manual that comes with your adapter board to
ensure signal compatibility between the adapter board and the drive. Also, make sure
that the adapter board jumper settings are appropriate.

All pins are in a single row, with a 1.27 mm (.050”) pitch.
• The comments on the mating sequence in Table 3-1 apply to the case of
backplane blindmate connector only. In this case, the mating sequences
are: (1) the ground pins P4 and P12; (2) the pre-charge power pins and
the other ground pins; and (3) the signal pins and the rest of the power
pins.
• There are three power pins for each voltage. One pin from each voltage
is used for precharge in the backplane blind-mate situation.
• It is optional to terminate any of the V33 pins. If a device uses 5.0 V, then
all V5 pins must be terminated. Otherwise, it is optional to terminate any
of the V5 pins.
• If a device uses 12.0 V, then all V12 pins must be terminated. Otherwise,
it is optional to terminate any of the V12 pins.
3.3.4
ATA Bus Interface Connector
On the Maxtor DiamondMax 10 80/100/120/160/200/250/300GB Serial ATA
hard disk drives, the Serial ATA bus interface cable connector is a standard 7-pin
Serial ATA.
To prevent the possibility of incorrect installation, the connector has been keyed.
This ensures that a connector cannot be installed upside down.
3.3.5
MOUNTING
Drive mounting orientation, clearance, and ventilation requirements are described
in the following subsections.
3.3.6
Orientation
The mounting holes on the Maxtor DiamondMax 10 80/100/120/160/200/250/
300GB Serial ATA hard disk drives allow the drive to be mounted in any
orientation. Figure 3-6 and Figure 3-7 show the location of the three mounting
holes on each side of the drive. The drive can also be mounted using the four
mounting hole locations on the PCB side of the drive.
Note: It is highly recommended that the drive is hard mounted on to
the chassis of the system being used for general operation, as well
as for test purposes. Failure to hard mount the drive can result in
erroneous errors during testing.
Drives can be mounted in any orientation. Normal position is
with the PCB facing down.
All dimensions are in millimeters. For mounting, #6-32 UNC screws are
recommended.

CAUTION:
The PCB is very close to the mounting holes. Do not exceed the
specified length for the mounting screws. The specified screw
length allows full use of the mounting hole threads, while avoiding
damaging or placing unwanted stress on the PCB. Figure 3-10 specifies the minimum clearance between the PCB and the screws in the
mounting holes. To avoid stripping the mounting hole threads, the
maximum torque applied to the screws must not exceed 8 inchpounds. A maximum screw length of 0.25 inches may be used.
Figure 3-8 Interface Connections
3.3.7
Clearance
Clearance from the drive to any other surface (except mounting surfaces) must be a
minimum of 1.25 mm (0.05 inches).
See figure 3-10
3.3.8
Ventilation
The Maxtor DiamondMax 10 80/100/120/160/200/250/300GB Serial ATA hard
disk drives operate without a cooling fan, provided the base casting temperature as
measured where the motor is attached to the base casting does not exceed 140° F
(60° C).
Use of the thinner Serial ATA cables increases ventilation within the casing.
To connect the drive to the motherboard for the DiamondMax 10 Serial ATA
drives, use a Serial ATA cable 1 meter long or shorter. Ensure that pin 1 of the drive
is connected to pin 1 of the motherboard connector.
3.4
FOR SYSTEMS WITH AN ATA ADAPTER BOARD
To install the Maxtor DiamondMax 10 80/100/120/160/200/250/300GB Serial
ATA hard disk drive in an AT-compatible system without a Serial ATA connector
on its motherboard, you’ll need a third-party IDE-compatible adapter board.
3.4.1
Adapter Board Installation
Carefully read the manual that accompanies your adapter board before installing it.
Make sure that all the jumpers are set properly and that there are no address or signal
conflicts. You must also investigate to see if your AT-compatible system contains a
combination floppy and hard disk controller board. If it does, you must disable the
hard disk drive controller functions on that controller board before proceeding.
Once you have disabled the hard disk drive controller functions on the floppy/hard
DiamondMax 10 80/100/120/160/200/250/300GB Serial ATA
3-11
Installation
drive controller, install the adapter board. Again, make sure that you have set all
jumper straps on the adapter board to avoid addressing and signal conflicts.
3.4.1.1
Connecting the Motherboard and the Drive
1. Locate an available Serial ATA (SATA) port on your motherboard or on a SATA
PCI card and plug in one end of the SATA interface cable.
2. Locate the SATA port on the rear of the hard drive and plug in the SATA
interface cable as shown in Figure 3-9.
3. Secure the drive to the system chassis by using the mounting screws as shown in
Figure 3-9.
Note: If you have an existing installation of Windows 2000 or XP, you
must install a Windows driver for the SATA interface before
connecting the drive. Please see your installation guide for more
details on the process.
Note: This drive includes both a 4-pin legacy power connector and a
15-pin SATA power connector. These connectors cannot be
used at the same time, powering both connectors simultaneously will damage the drive.
Note: To ensure proper operation of your drive, do not use the jumper
pins to the left of the 4-pin power connector. If your drive comes
with a jumper, pre-installed, carefully remove it, see your installation guide for more details on this process. If your drive has a
single shrouded jumper pin, please note that the plastic shroud is
fixed in place. Do not attempt to remove it. See your installation
guide for more details.

TECHNIQUES IN DRIVE CONFIGURATION
3.6.1
The 528-Megabytes Barrier
Older BIOS that only support Int 13 commands for accessing ATA drives through
DOS based operating systems will be limited to use only 1024 cylinders. This will
reduce the effective capacity of the drive to 528Mbytes.
Whenever possible the Maxtor DiamondMax 10 80/100/120/160/200/250/
300GB Serial ATA drive should be used on systems that support LBA translation to
ensure the use of the entire capacity of the disk drive. If that is not possible the
following are some techniques that can be used to overcome this barrier.
• Use a third party software program that translates the hard drive
parameters to an acceptable configuration for MS-DOS.
• Use a hard disk controller that translates the hard drive parameters to an
appropriate setup for both MS-DOS and the computer system’s ROMBIOS.
3.6.2
The 8.4-Gigabytes Barrier
Newer BIOS’s allow users to configure disk drives to go beyond the 528MB barrier
by using several BIOS translation schemes. However, while using these translations
the BIOS using Int 13 functions are limited to 24 bits of addressing which results in
another barrier at the 8.4GB capacity.
To overcome this barrier a new set of Int 13 extensions are being implemented by
most BIOS manufacturers. The new Int 13 extension allows for four words of
addressing space (64 bits) resulting in 9.4 Terrabytes of accessible space.
3-14 DiamondMax 10 80/100/120/160/200/250/300GB Serial ATA
Installation
Whenever possible the Maxtor DiamondMax 10 80/100/120/160/200/250/300GB
Serial ATA drive should be used on systems with BIOS that support Int 13 extensions.
If that is not possible the following are some techniques that can be used to overcome
this barrier:
• Use a third party software that supplements the BIOS and adds Int 13
extension support.
• Obtain a BIOS upgrade from the system board manufacturer. Many
system board manufacturers allow their BIOS to be upgraded in the field
using special download utilities. Information on BIOS upgrades can be
obtained on the System Board Customer Service respective web sites on
the Internet.
You can choose any drive type that does not exceed the capacity of the drive. Table
3-1 gives the logical parameters that provide the maximum capacity on the
DiamondMax 10 family of hard disk drives.
To match the logical specifications of the drive to the drive type of a particular
BIOS, consult the system’s drive-type table. This table specifies the number of
cylinders, heads, and sectors for a particular drive type.
You must choose a drive type that meets the following requirements:
For the Maxtor DiamondMax 10 80/100/120/160/200/250/300GB Serial ATA:
Logical Cylinders x Logical Heads x Logical Sectors/Track x 512 = 8,455,200,768
Boot the system using the operating system installation disk—for example, MSDOS—then follow the installation instructions in the operating system manual.
3.7
Operating system limitations
Most popular operating systems available today have additional limitations which
affect the use of large capacity drives. However, these limitations can not be
corrected on the BIOS and it is up to the operating system manufacturers to release
improved versions to address these problems.
DOS and Windows 95 use a File Allocation Table (FAT) size of 16 bits which will
only support partitions up to 2.1 GB. Windows 95 OSR2, Windows 98, and
Windows ME use a FAT size of 32 bits, allowing partitions of up to 2.2 terrabytes.
Windows NT, 2000, and XP Use NTFS, which allows partition sizes up to 16
terrabytes.

ATA Bus Interface and ATA Commands
Note: 1. As defined in the ATA/ATAPI-7 standard.
Identify Drive Command
This command allows the host to receive parameter information from the drive.
When the command is received, the drive:
1. Sets BSY
2. Stores the required parameter information in the sector buffer
3. Sets the DRQ bit
4. Generates an interrupt
The host may then read the information out of the sector buffer. Parameter words in
the buffer are shown in Table 5-2.
Note: All reserved bits or words should be zeroes.

Breaking the 137GB Storage Barrier
Appendix A
BREAKING THE 137 GIGABYTE STORAGE BARRIER
This appendix provides information about the 137GB storage barrier. It discusses the
history, cause and the solution to overcome this barrier.
A.1
Breaking the 137 Gigabyte Storage Barrier
Capacity barriers have been a fact of the personal computer world since its beginnings
in the early 1980’s. At least 10 different capacity barriers have occurred in the storage
industry over the last 15 years. The most notable barriers seen previously have been at
528 megabytes and then at 8.4 gigabytes.
The most recent barrier which will be surmounted in 2001, is the 137-gigabyte limit
or a single ATA drive. The first ATA devices to exceed 137 gigabytes will be fourplatter hard disk drives with 40 gigabytes per platter, yielding 160 gigabytes per drive.
These drives will be available in the second half of 2001. Later in the same year,
capacity will continue to grow to 60 gigabytes per platter, and a three-disk, 180gigabyte device will be available and shipping.
The ANSI NCITS T13 Technical Committee (also known as the ANSI ATA
committee) has broken this barrier by incorporating a proposal from Maxtor into the
ATA/ATAPI-7 draft standard that defines a method for 48-bit addressing on a single
drive, giving more than 144 petabytes (144,000 gigabytes) of storage.
In addition, the proposal from Maxtor that was incorporated into ATA/ATAPI-7
defines a method for extending the maximum amount of data that can be transferred
per command for ATA devices from 256 sectors (about 131 kilobytes) to 65,536
sectors (about 33 megabytes). This new method is particularly useful for applications
that use extremely large files, such as those for A/V or multimedia.
The following sections will describe issues surrounding the 137-gigabyte barrier and
the solution for breaking it.
A.1.1
History
Many of the “barriers” in the past resulted from BIOS and operating system issues
caused by failure to anticipate the remarkable increases in device storage capacity by
the people who designed hard disk structures, access routines, and operating systems
many years ago. They thought, “Who will ever have xxx much storage?” In some
cases, the barriers were caused by hardware or software bugs not found until hard disks
had grown in size beyond a certain point where the bugs would occur.

Breaking the 137GB Storage Barrier
Past barriers often frustrated people trying to add a new hard disk to an older system
when they discovered that not all of the designed capacity of the hard disk was
accessible. This inability to access the entire drive is referred to as a “capacity barrier”
and it has been seen and overcome many times in the computer and disk drive
industry.
The 137-gigabyte barrier is the result of the original design specification for the ATA
interface that provided only 28 bits of address for data. This specification means a hard
disk can have a maximum of 268,435,456 sectors of 512 bytes of data which puts the
ATA interface maximum at 137.4 gigabytes.

Breaking the 137GB Storage Barrier
A.1.2
Solving the 137 Gigabyte Capacity Barrier
As described earlier, the issue causing the 137-gigabyte barrier is the 28-bit addressing
method of the original ATA specification. A change to expand this method was
required to provide more address bits for the interface, allowing significant growth for
many years to come. A critical issue in expanding the addressing capability was
maintaining compatibility with the existing installed base of products.
A new ATA standard, ATA/ATAPI-7, has been in the works for some time, and the
latest draft of this standard resolves this issue by increasing the maximum number of
bits used for addressing from 28 to 48. This solution increases the maximum capacity
of an ATA device to 144 petabytes while maintaining compatibility with current ATA
products.
A.1.3
How is the Extension Implemented?
The 48-bit Address feature set provides a method to address devices with capacities up
to approximately 144 petabytes by increasing the number of bits used to specify logical
block addresses (LBAs) from 28 to 48. The feature set also provides a method to
increase the number of sectors that can be transferred by a single command from 256
to 65,536 by increasing the number of bits specifying sector count to 16 bits.
New commands specific to this feature set have been defined so that devices can
implement the new feature set in addition to previously defined commands. Devices
implementing the 48-bit Address feature set commands will also implement
commands that use 28-bit addressing in order to maintain interoperability with older
system components. In addition, 8-bit and 48-bit commands may be intermixed.
The 48-bit Address feature set operates in LBA addressing only. Support of the 48-bit
Address feature set is indicated in the IDENTIFY DEVICE response data. In a device
implementing the 48-bit Address feature set, the registers used for addressing are, in
fact, a two-byte deep FIFO. Each time one of these registers is written, the new
content written is placed into the “most recently written” location and the previous
content of the register is moved to “previous content” location. A host may read the
“previous content” of the registers by first setting a bit in the Device Control register
to 1 and then reading the desired register.
A.1.4
What Do the Drives Need to Meet the Spec?
The challenge to drive manufacturers is to develop and implement new interface chips
on drives that can accept and decode the new 48-bit addressing scheme. Many
functions of decoding the commands sent to and from the drive are automated in the
silicon of the drive interface ASIC, and this is where drive manufacturers must update
their designs. Maxtor is the leader in development efforts and is the first to deliver a
product with the capacity and drive technology to deliver greater than 137 gigabytes
of capacity.
A.1.5
What Else is Involved?
Effort is required from OS vendors to increase storage device addressing up to 48 bits
or more. This increase will be a significant challenge for many OS vendors that have
32-bit code models. Adapting to 48-bit commands will be easy, but most vendors
will stop filling data at the 32-bit boundary and pad the upper 16 bits with zeros,
leaving that space empty.

Breaking the 137GB Storage Barrier
The BIOS companies will also have to perform some work to recognize the increased
capacity of the devices attached to the bus and allow the extended 48-bit commands
to pass on to the devices. Boot partitions will also be an issue for the capacity of the
drive if the BIOS does not recognize the 48-bit addressing scheme at or before the
system boots the OS from the hard drive.
Independent software driver efforts for legacy operating systems (Windows NT 4,
Windows 98, and so on) will need to be implemented to allow higher-capacity devices
to work on installed systems and recognize the maximum available capacity of the
drive over the 137-gigabyte limit.
A.1.6
What is the Next Barrier?
While it is true that the ATA/ATAPI-7, standard defines a method to provide a total
capacity for a device of 144 petabytes, the next limit will be imposed not by the ATA
devices but by many of the popular operating systems in use today. This limit will be
at 2.2 terabytes (2,200 gigabytes). This barrier exists because many of today’s operating
systems are based on 32-bit addressing. These operating systems include many flavors
of Linux, Mac OS 9.x, and Windows 95, 98, ME, NT 4, 2000, and XP (Windows
XP/64-bit also has the limit because of leveraged 32-bit code).
This barrier could be real as early as 2004 if current hard drive capacity rate increases
continue along the same growth trends.

Glossary
A
ACCESS – (v) Read, write, or update
information on some storage medium, such as
a disk. (n) One of these operations.
ACCESS TIME – The interval between the
time a request for data is made by the system
and the time the data is available from the
drive. Access time includes the actual seek
time, rotational latency, and command
processing overhead time. See also seek,
rotational latency, and overhead.
ACTUATOR – Also known as the positioner.
The internal mechanism that moves the
read/write head to the proper track. The
Maxtor actuator consists of a rotary voice coil
and the head mounting arms. One end of each
head mounting arm attaches to the rotor with
the read/write heads attached at the opposite
end of each arm. As current is applied to the
rotor, it rotates, positioning the heads over the
desired cylinder on the media.
ALLOCATION – The process of assigning
particular areas of the disk to particular files.
See also allocation unit. ALLOCATION
UNIT – An allocation unit, also known as a
cluster, is a group of sectors on the disk that can
be reserved for the use of a particular file.
AVERAGE SEEK TIME – The average
time it takes for the read/write head to move
to a specific location. To compute the average
seek time, you divide the time it takes to
complete a large number of random seeks all
over the disk by the number of seeks
performed.
BAD BLOCK – A block (usually the size of
a sector) that cannot reliably hold data because
of a media flaw or damaged format markings.
BAD TRACK TABLE – A label affixed to
the casing of a hard disk drive that tells which
tracks are flawed and cannot hold data. The
listing is typed into the low-level formatting
program when the drive is being installed.
Because Maxtor disk drive’s
defect-management scheme handles all such
flaws automatically, there is no need to
concern yourself with bad track tables.
BIT – Abbreviation for binary digit. A binary
digit may have one of two values—1 or 0.
This contrasts with a decimal digit, which
may have a value from 0 to 9. A bit is one of
the logic 1or logic 0 binary settings that make
up a byte of data. See also byte.
BLOCK – A sector or group of sectors. By
default, a block of data consists of 512 bytes.
BPI – Abbreviation for bits per inch. A
measure of how densely information is packed
on a storage medium. Flux changes per inch is
also a term commonly used in describing
storage density on a magnetic surface.
BUFFER – An area of RAM reserved for
temporary storage of data that is waiting to be
sent to a device that is not yet ready to receive
it. The data is usually on its way to or from the
disk drive or some other peripheral device.
BUS – The part of a chip, circuit board, or
interface designed to send and receive data.
BYTE – The basic unit of computer
memory, large enough to hold one character
of alphanumeric data. Comprised of eight bits.
See also bit.

BACKUP – A copy of a file, directory, or
volume on a separate storage device from the
original, for the purpose of retrieval in case the
original is accidentally erased, damaged, or
destroyed.
CACHE – Random-access memory used as a
buffer between the CPU and a hard disk.
Information more likely to be read or changed
is placed in the cache, where it can be accessed
more quickly to speed up general data flow.

CLEAN ROOM – An environmentally
controlled dust-free assembly or repair facility
in which hard disk drives are assembled or can
be opened for internal servicing.
CLUSTER – A group of sectors on a disk
drive that is addressed as one logical unit by
the operating system.

within each sector and is used to see whether
parts of a string of data are missing or
erroneous.
CYLINDER – On a disk drive that has more
than one recording surface and heads that
move to various tracks, the group of all tracks
located at a given head position. The number
of cylinders times the number of heads equals
the number of tracks per drive.
D
DATA SEPARATOR – On a disk drive
that stores data and timing information in an
encoded form, the circuit that extracts the
data from the combined data and clock signal.
DEDICATED SERVO – A surface separate
from the surface used for data that contains
only disk timing and positioning information
and contains no data.
DEFECT MANAGEMENT – A method
that is implemented to ensure long term data
integrity. Defect management eliminates the
need for user defect maps. This is
accomplished by scanning the disk drives at
the factory for defective sectors. Defective
sectors are deallocated prior to shipment. In
addition, during regular use, the drive
continues to scan and compensate for any new
defective sectors on the disk.
DISK – In general, any circular-shaped
data-storage medium that stores data on the
flat surface of the platter. The most common
type of disk is the magnetic disk, which stores
data as magnetic patterns in a metal or
metal-oxide coating. Magnetic disks come in
two forms: floppy and hard. Optical recording
is a newer disk technology that gives higher
capacity storage but at slower access times.
DISK CONTROLLER – A plug-in board,
or embedded circuitry on the drive, that
passes information to and from the disk. The
Maxtor disk drives all have controllers
embedded on the drive printed-circuit board.
DISKWARE – The program instructions
and data stored on the disk for use by a
processor.
DMA – Acronym for direct memory access. A
process by which data moves directly between
a disk drive (or other device) and system
memory without passing through the CPU,
thus allowing the system to continue
processing other tasks while the new data is
being retrieved.
DRIVE – Short form of disk drive.
DRIVE GEOMETRY – The functional
dimensions of a drive in terms of the number
of heads, cylinders, and sectors per track. See
also logical format.

Glossary
E
ECC – Acronym for error correction code. The
recording of extra verifying information
encoded along with the disk data. The
controller uses the extra information to check
for data errors, and corrects the errors when
possible.
EMBEDDED SERVO – A timing or
location signal placed on the disk’s surface on
the tracks that also store data. These signals
allow the actuator to fine-tune the position of
the read/write heads.
ENCODING – The protocol by which
particular data patterns are changed prior to
being written on the disk surface as a pattern
of On and Off or 1 and 0 signals.
EXTERNAL DRIVE – A drive mounted in
an enclosure separate from the PC or
computer system enclosure, with its own
power supply and fan, and connected to the
system by a cable.
FLUX DENSITY – The number of
magnetic field patterns that can be stored in a
given length of disk surface. The number is
usually stated as flux changes per inch (FCI),
with typical values in the thousands.
FLYING HEIGHT – The distance between
the read/write head and the disk surface
caused by a cushion of air that keeps the head
from contacting the media. Smaller flying
heights permit more dense storage of data, but
require more precise mechanical designs.
FORMAT – To write onto the disk surface a
magnetic track pattern that specifies the
locations of the tracks and sectors. This
information must exist on a disk before it can
store any user data. Formatting erases any
previously stored data.
FORMATTED CAPACITY – The
amount of room left to store data on the disk
after the required space has been used to write
sector headers, boundary definitions, and
timing information generated by a format
operation. All Maxtor drive capacities are
expressed in formatted capacity.
FORM FACTOR – The physical outer
dimensions of a device as defined by industry
standard. For example, most Maxtor disk
drives use a 3 1/2-inch form factor.
F
FAT – Acronym for file allocation table. A data
table stored on the outer edge of a disk that
tells the operating system which sectors are
allocated to each file and in what order.
FCI – Acronym for flux changes per inch. See
also BPI.
FILE SERVER – A computer that provides
network stations with controlled access to
shareable resources. The network operating
system is loaded on the file server, and most
shareable devices (disk subsystems, printers)
are attached to it. The file server controls
system security and monitors
station-to-station communications. A
dedicated file server can be used only as a file
server while it is on the network. A non

Glossary
over a magnesium or aluminum platter.
Because hard disks spin more rapidly than
floppy disks, and the head flies closer to the
disk, hard disks can transfer data faster and
store more in the same volume.
INTERLEAVE – The arrangement of
sectors on a track. A 1:1 interleave arranges
the sectors so that the next sector arrives at the
read/write heads just as the computer is ready
to access it. See also interleave factor.
HARD ERROR – A repeatable error in disk
data that persists when the disk is reread,
usually caused by defects in the media surface.
INTERLEAVE FACTOR – The number
of sectors that pass beneath the read/write
heads before the next numbered sector
arrives. When the interleave factor is 3:1, a
sector is read, two pass by, and then the next
is read. It would take three revolutions of the
disk to access a full track of data. Maxtor
drives have an interleave of 1:1, so a full track
of data can be accessed within one revolution
of the disk, thus offering the highest data
throughput possible.
HEAD – The tiny electromagnetic coil and
metal pole piece used to create and read back
the magnetic patterns (write and read
information) on the media.
HIGH-CAPACITY DRIVE – By industry
conventions typically a drive of 1 gigabytes or
more.
HIGH-LEVEL FORMATTING –
Formatting performed by the operating
system’s format program. Among other
things, the formatting program creates the
root directory and file allocation tables. See
also low-level formatting.

re-calibration of the actuator, usually the
outer track (track 0).
HOST ADAPTER – A plug-in board that
forms the interface between a particular type
of computer system bus and the disk drive.
INTERNAL DRIVE – A drive mounted
inside one of a computer’s drive bays (or a
hard disk on a card, which is installed in one
of the computer’s slots).
J

electrically. Some board manufacturers use
Dual In-Line Package (DIP) switches instead
of jumpers.

INITIATOR – A SCSI device that requests
another SCSI device to perform an operation.
A common example of this is a system
requesting data from a drive. The system is the
initiator and the drive is the target.
INTERFACE – A hardware or software
protocol, contained in the electronics of the
disk controller and disk drive, that manages
the exchange of data between the drive and
computer.
K
KILOBYTE (Kb) – A unit of measure
consisting of 1,024 (210) bytes.
L
LANDING ZONE – A position inside the
disk’s inner cylinder in a non data area
reserved as a place to rest the heads during the
time that power is off. Using this area prevents
the heads from touching the surface in data
areas upon power down, adding to the data
integrity and reliability of the disk drive.
LATENCY – The period of time during

LOOK AHEAD – The technique of
buffering data into cache RAM by reading
subsequent blocks in advance to anticipate the
next request for data. The look ahead
technique speeds up disk access of sequential
blocks of data.

MTTF – MTTF is a basic measure of
reliability for non-repairable systems. It is the
mean time expected until the first failure of a
piece of equipment. MTTF is a statistical
value and is meant to be the mean over a long
period of time and large number of units. For
constant failure rate systems, MTTF is the
inverse of the failure rate. If failure rate is in
failures/million hours, MTTF = 1,000,000 /

O
OVERHEAD – The processing time of a
command by the controller, host adapter or
drive prior to any actual disk accesses taking
place.
PLATTER – An disk made of metal (or
other rigid material) that is mounted inside a

any order desired, and the address of one
storage location is as readily accessible as any
other.
RAM DISK – A “phantom disk drive” for
which a section of system memory (RAM) is
set aside to hold data, just as if it were a
number of disk sectors. The access to this data
is extremely fast but is lost when the system is
reset or turned off.
READ AFTER WRITE – A mode of
operation that has the computer read back
each sector on the disk, checking that the data
read back is the same as recorded. This slows
disk operations, but raises reliability.
READ VERIFY – A disk mode where the
disk reads in data to the controller, but the
controller only checks for errors and does not
pass the data on to the system.
READ/WRITE HEAD – The tiny
electromagnetic coil and metal pole piece
used to create and read back the magnetic
patterns (write or read information) on the
disk. Each side of each platter has its own
read/write head.

REMOVABLE DISK – Generally said of
disk drives where the disk itself is meant to be
removed, and in particular of hard disks using
disks mounted in cartridges. Their advantage
is that multiple disks can be used to increase
the amount of stored material, and that once
removed, the disk can be stored away to
prevent unauthorized use.
RLL – Run Length Limited. A method used
on some hard disks to encode data into
magnetic pulses. RLL requires more
processing, but stores almost 50% more data
per disk than the MFM method.
ROM – Acronym for read only memory.
Usually in the form of an ROM in the
controller that contains programs that can be
accessed and read but not modified by the
system.
ROTARY ACTUATOR – The rotary
actuator replaces the stepper motor used in the
past by many hard disk manufacturers. The
rotary actuator is perfectly balanced and
rotates around a single pivot point. It allows
closed-loop feedback positioning of the heads,
which is more accurate than stepper motors.
ROTATIONAL LATENCY – The delay
between when the controller starts looking
for a specific block of data on a track and
when that block rotates around to where it
can be read by the read/write head. On the
average, it is half of the time needed for a full
rotation (about 8 ms.).
SECTOR – A section of space along a track
on the disk, or the data that is stored in that
section. Hard disks most often have sectors
that are 512 data bytes long plus several bytes
overhead for error correcting codes. Each
sector is preceded by ID data known as a
header, which cannot be overwritten.
SEEK – A movement of the disk read/write
head in or out to a specific track.
SERVO DATA – Magnetic markings
written on the media that guide the
read/write heads to the proper position.
SERVO SURFACE – A separate surface
containing only positioning and disk timing
information but no data.
SETTLE TIME – The interval between
when a track to track movement of the head
stops, and when the residual vibration and
movement dies down to a level sufficient for
reliable reading or writing.
SHOCK RATING – A rating (expressed in
Gs) of how much shock a disk drive can
sustain without damage.
SOFT ERROR – An error in reading data
from the disk that does not recur if the same
data is reread. Often caused by power
fluctuations or noise spikes.
SOFT SECTORED – Disks that mark the
beginning of each sector of data within a track
by a magnetic pattern.
SPINDLE – The center shaft of the disk
upon which the drive’s platters are mounted.
S
SCSI – Acronym for Small Computer System
Interface, an American National Standards
Institute (ANSI) version of Shugart Associates'
SASI interface between the computer and
controller. SCSI has grown in popularity and
is one of the most flexible and intelligent
interfaces available.
SPUTTER – A type of coating process used
to apply the magnetic coating to some
high-performance disks. In sputtering, the
disks are placed in a vacuum chamber and the
coating is vaporized and deposited on the
disks. The resulting surface is hard, smooth,
and capable of storing data at high density.
Maxtor disk drives use sputtered thin film
disks.

Glossary
STEPPER – A type of motor that moves in
discrete amounts for each input electrical
pulse. Stepper motors used to be widely used
for read/write head positioner, since they can
be geared to move the head one track per
step. Stepper motors are not as fast or reliable
as the rotary voice coil actuators which
Maxtor disk drives use.
SUBSTRATE – The material the disk
platter is made of beneath the magnetic
coating. Hard disks are generally made of
aluminum or magnesium alloy (or glass, for
optical disks) while the substrate of floppies is
usually mylar.
SURFACE – The top or bottom side of the
platter which is coated with the magnetic
material for recording data. On some drives
one surface may be reserved for positioning
information.
T
THIN FILM – A type of coating, used for
disk surfaces. Thin film surfaces allow more

disk.
TRACK – One of the many concentric
magnetic circle patterns written on a disk
surface as a guide to where to store and read
the data.
TRACK DENSITY – How closely the
tracks are packed on a disk surface. The
number is specified as tracks per inch (TPI).
TRACK TO TRACK SEEK TIME – The
time required for the read/write heads to
move to an adjacent track.
TRANSFER RATE – The rate at which the
disk sends and receives data from the
controller. Drive specifications usually
reference a high number that is the burst
mode rate for transferring data across the
interface from the disk buffer to system RAM.
Sustained data transfer is at a much lower rate
because of system processing overhead, head
switches, and seeks.
U
UNFORMATTED CAPACITY – The
total number of bytes of data that could be fit
onto a disk. Formatting the disk requires some
of this space to record location, boundary
definitions, and timing information. After
formatting, user data can be stored on the
remaining disk space, known as formatted
capacity. The size of a Maxtor drive is
expressed in formatted capacity.
V
VOICE COIL – A type of motor used to
move the disk read/write head in and out to
the right track. Voice-coil actuators work like
loudspeakers with the force of a magnetic coil
causing a proportionate movement of the
head. Maxtor's actuator uses voice-coil
technology, and thereby eliminates the high
stress wearing parts found on stepper motor
type actuators.
W
WEDGE SERVO – The position on every
track that contains data used by the closed
loop positioning control. This information is
used to fine tune the position of the
read/write heads exactly over the track
center.
WINCHESTER DISKS – Hard disks that
use a technology similar to an IBM model
using Winchester as the code name. These
disks use read/write heads that ride just above
the magnetic surface, held up by the air flow
created by the turning disk. When the disk
stops turning, the heads land on the surface,
which has a specially lubricated coating.
Winchester disks must be sealed and have a
filtration system since ordinary dust particles
are large enough to catch between the head
and the disk.
WRITE ONCE – In the context of optical
disks, technologies that allow the drive to
store data on a disk and read it back, but not
to erase it.
